Something that people seem to never realize is that at this time Freddy was seriously I’ll from HIV/AIDS. That alone is horrific but then when you factor in that it was the 80’s and people who had those diseases were shunned and ostracized, you really begin to see how monumental this collaboration and friendship was. Here is Montserrat Caballe, one of the greatest Opera Divas to ever have lived, holding hands with an AIDS patient. Touching him. Loving him. Treating him like a human. Everything about this is breathtaking.
The video was from 1987. The same year that Freddie was diagnosed with hiv. So I dont Think he was seriosly ill already?
I watched a documentary where Montserrat Caballé said, when they met for this project, she welcomed him at the hotel by wanting to kiss him hello! But he refused, because he told her, he is concerned to infect her.
What a story
@@Danishwoman78 In an interview Montserrat mentions that before singing it with her (he had written it for the opening of the '92 Barcelona Olympics) he confided in her that he had AIDS and wouldn't be alive to sing it with her. She was one of the first to know he was seriously ill which bonded them as "Friends Forever" according to her..
Hey guys that was a cool reaction. Don't forget Freddie wrote this for her because she wanted a song for her city Barcelona. Also this song was the theme song for the Barcelona Olympic in 1992. Great song. You see Freddie can write opera music too. Very talented.
I had no idea that he wrote this! Amazing. ✌️❤️
Did you miss the opera in Bohemian Rhapsody?
@@ElectroT0y I was waiting for somebody to say that.
Just to give credit where due; Barcelona was co-written by Freddie & Mike Moran. Mike also did the arrangement, played keyboard on it, co-produced it (along with Freddie & David Richards) & appears in the vid (conducting, with the light stick).
He died in 91
They did this on a soundstage instead live at the Olympics because when Fred proposed it the games where 2 yrs away and he said “I don’t have 2yrs Monsie.” She showed up for her prince. Brava. ❤
😢
🥺 Thanks for this story. Never knew this.
"I can't believe that exists." You said it. Their collaboration was kind of miraculous. Freddie heard her singing opera and fell in love with her voice. They met up and immediately began singing together. They were great friends until the end. This song and their album is the pinnacle of rock and opera united.
Two beautiful voices match perfectly. Freddie's voice is a gift from Heaven. Pray for Freddie's soul. Stay safe Freddie. We missed you. Thanks God for lending us Freddie 😘😘
Amen.
I believe friendship survives after we're gone
Freddie was obsessed with her voice and a dream was to sing with her.
He absolutely adored Montserrat and it showed.
The story on how they met is just so sweet as was their love for each other.
@@davidboivin7996 She adored him also very much.The way she spoke about him after he died was full of love and friendship
She sang at Freddie's funeral because that was the only voice Freddie wanted heard. They truly loved each other.
In a Verdi Opera, Montserrat held a crisp note for 18 seconds... She's incomparable. I miss her dearly.
Her version of Casta Diva is like that, exquisite!
Now *that* would make a good reaction.
Don't forget by this time Freddie was seriously ill so imagine how difficult it was for him to perform at that level alongside one of the greatest opera singers that's ever lived .Simply amazing Freddie really was a one off and we will never see his like again .
I was just thinking the same thing. He was so sick at the time! And what a performance!! Bravo
AS crazy as It sounds, Freddy's voice improved during his last time, because he left alcohol and tobacco trying to last as much as possible. Crazy.
Anyone thinks he cannot do something, he will show up and KILL IT.... as he would say "I'm Freddie Fucking Mercury, Dahling"
Absolutely TRUE.. Imagine Freddy in his PRIME. How THAT would have been. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This performance is playback and they were miming.
Monserrat Caballe was one of the great divas. A National Heroine of Spain. And the story of her friendship with Freddie was unexpected and so heartwarming. She was one of the very few he shared the extent of his illness with.
I've watched mini-docs, interviews and anything else I could find, in order to learn fully about their "unique" and devastatingly beautiful love affair. I know... Freddie was a gay man and Monsterrat was a married woman. That's why I used the word unique.
They truly had an abiding love for each other from "the moment (she) stepped in the room". He fell in love with her voice first and when they finally met for the first time, he said he was more nervous than he'd ever been in his life because he wasn't sure what she (the diva with the voice of an angel) would think of him. Can you imagine THE Freddie Mercury being nervous about meeting ANYONE? LOL
She was only the second person he spoke openly with about his illness. The first was Mary Austin. He only "officially told the rest of the members of the band, who were like brothers to him, what his diagnosis was - a year and a half before he died.
They all knew that he was terribly ill for quite a while, but they figured he'd tell them when and if he wanted to.
Brian revealed this after the movie Bohemian Rhapsody had shown a poignant scene of him telling them all right before Live Aid in 1985, because he wanted Freddie's legacy to be 100% true and accurate.
But, if anyone wants to know the full and amazing story of Freddie and Monsterrat, just do a search with both of their names and you'll find loads of information. It might be broken up into several articles and videos, but it's well worth it if you're a fan!
Montserrat is a wonderful opera singer. This was a magical collaboration between her and Freddy Mercury, who in his own right has a unique and creative vocal range. If you like her voice, listen to her sing the Chi il bel song di Doretta", the aria from "La Rondine", (The Sparrow), a Puccini opera.
@@bobbiejojackson9448 yes! I can’t remember exactly where I found it but she said in the video for “How do I go on” near the end she is hitting a note and you see Freddy get emotional. She said that’s when it hit him that this was likely his last performance. Now it just chokes me up everything I watch it.
@@sassy7766 Absolutely! I heard this for the first time without knowing the backstory and even then, it gave me goosebumps. It's literally what made me want to know everything about their relationship, exactly how these two glorious souls came together and so much more!
I'm not really a super religious person, but I'm convinced that there was some kind of divine intervention that brought the two of them into each other's lives, especially given the time that it happened! 🥰🤩
They absolutely adored each other
Freddie LOVED going to an opera of an evening, and the story goes that when he first heard Montserrat sing, he was jumping around in his seat with excitement, and he told whoever he was with that she had the greatest voice he had ever heard. He then went on to say how much he wanted to meet her, and if possible record something together, and this brilliant song was the product of them meeting
That sounds exactly like something Freddie would do lol
Everybody should go to the Opera!
He was asked in an interview, who was the greatest voice alive, and he replied Monserrat Caballé, and went on to say his dream was to sing with her, story goes she saw the interview and reached out.
not just a song a whole album!
31 years gone, never surpassed, still missed... RIP Fred
RIP Freddie we miss you so much, RIP Monsseratt you had a voice of an Angel and you are one now with Freddie. Together they were incredible and made the world a better place. 😢😭💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇪🇸
Freddie did Freddie, uncompromised and authentically. Montserrat did Montserrat uncompromised and authentically, and somehow, something that shouldn't have worked absolutely did. This can only be attributed to Freddie's work as a composer and the level of virtuosity they both had in their respected fields.
Freddy respected the Opera so much... I bet this was just a dream come true to him as well.
He wrote this especially for her. That’s what’s so fantastic about it all. I remember this and the Barcelona Olympics so well. The view over the city from the night time diving boards was just out of this world. I’m glad those memories are locked away in me for all my time. Thank you Freddie and thank you Montserrat.
Masterpiece Masterpiece Masterpiece, nothing more needs to be said.
They initially performed this song at the Olympics Closing Ceremony in 1988 to celebrate the next Olympics which was going to be held in Barcelona in 1992. I remember watching it live! It was so beautiful. I got goosebumps then and still today everytime I hear this song. They had such a mad respect for each other...incredible talents! May they both rest in peace!
He died in 91

@@michaelasay8587 Read the comment again . . . slowly word by word!
Yes, after the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, to celebrate the arrival
of the Olympic Torch in Barcelona for 1992 Olympics…love this song so much…it’s hard to not feel something when listening to this song.
@@michaelasay8587 yes...he died Nov. 24th 1991...may he rest in peace.
Rock star Freddie Mercury had a dream: to hear his idol Luciano Pavarotti singing. In 1983 he went to London’s Royal Opera House, where he experienced the power of Monserrat Caballé’s voice for the first time in Verdi’s opera Un ballo in maschera. As Mercury would later recall, he sat still while the opera diva’s incomparable bel canto sounded.
The rock musician’s biographers would later point out that it was from that time on that he listened to only one music - the incomparable Montserrat Caballe. The rocker to the end of his days considered the native of Barcelona, the best performer of all time.
In an interview with Spanish television on July 31, 1986 he made no secret of his dream - to sing a duet with Caballe. This rumor reached the opera diva and interested her. They met for the first time at the Ritz Hotel in Barcelona to discuss preparations for the 1992 Olympics. The rock musician and the opera singer had to write a song for the opening of the big event.
They instantly felt a deep respect for each other and their hearts beat in unison. Each of them would later describe the encounter as fateful. It seemed to them as if they had known each other for a thousand years. This meeting was the beginning of their sincere friendship.
Monserrat Caballe recalled: “Freddie turned to me and said: I have a present for you, a song called Exercises In Free Love. Would you be so kind as to perform it when you have time, anywhere, even in the bathroom? The song sounded pianissimo and very, very melodic. And I took the score he handed me to perform it in the future.”
When the opera diva asked Freddie Mercury for a special gift, a song about her hometown, it was already the famous “Barcelona,” the future anthem of the Olympics. They met repeatedly at the rock star’s apartment and talked until morning. For the sake of these gatherings Monserrat neglected her sleep schedule. She was the first person who Freddie Mercury trusted and told about his incurable illness - AIDS.
On October 8, 1988, they sang at La Nit Festival, held on the occasion of the passing of the Olympic torch. Three compositions - among them “Barcelona” - were included in their joint album. Unfortunately, due to the passing of the legendary Freddie Mercury, the friends were never lucky enough to perform the anthem at the opening of the ’92 Olympics. “It’s impossible to replace Freddie with anyone!” - Monserrat told the organizers. The song was played on the recording.
:) Lovely. Thank you for writing this.
her brother was involved with the olympics and chose it for the olympic song Barcalona 92
but Freddie didn't write it for the olympics
Montserrat was known for her pianissimos. She could float a note like no other.
I'm not sure what summarizes this performance better; the look on Amber's face at the end, or her saying, "I can't believe that this exists." This was something truly special!
@Amber - trust me, no opera lover is going to slam you over not getting her name exactly right. We're just impressed and THRILLED that you're broadening your horizons and getting to know her. The correct pronunciation is Mohnt-seh-RAHT Kah-bah-YAY. So glad to see you react to this one!
This song NEVER gets old. When Sra. Caballé passed away my first thought was I hope she and Freddie are singing together wherever they are. Another song with contrasting styles you can check out (if you haven't already done so) is "Up Where We Belong." Joe Cocker's soulful growl mixed with Jennifer Warnes' gentle voice.
Also Jennifer Warnes version of Famous Blue Raincoat
I'm portuguese , this amazing Lady was from our neighbour Spain . This song was for me , the most amazing duet in the music history ever. I do not believe that you guys take so much time to react to it!
He was on his way out when he performed this song. I saw an interview with Monserrat where she told of how Freddie told her he was not much longer for this world.
Of course he is eternal.
The entire Barcelona album is incredible.
Agreed, highly recommend.
You both look mesmerized! Isn't Barcelona beautiful? As everyone is telling you, Freddie loved Montserrat's voice way before they collaborated on the album (also titled Barcelona). The songs are written with their two voices in mind. To compliment each other. It's my favorite 'solo' Freddie Mercury project. Together, Freddie & Montserrat were just magical. PLUS they genuinely liked each other very much. It shows.
I don't know if you two wonderful souls fully appreciate the importance of what you do here. You are keeping these wonderful artists alive and bringing them to new generations. It fills me with joy to hear younger people appreciate them as much as I did. Love from the UK
Montserrat Caballé was an outstanding opera artist. Unfortunately the majority of people, who are not into opera, only know her by this performance. But if you are in the slightest interested in opera you should check out other performances of her. Freddie and her got along very, very well. I would say they became friends. A great duo. Love Freddie, love Monti
The song was first recorded in 1987, but it was re-released in 1992 as a kind of anthem for the Barcelona Olympics, a year after Freddie's death.
Two of the greatest singers combined...
Pushing the boundaries of Artistic expression 😍♥️♥️
R.I.P. in Infinity.........
Freddie can Sing Opera too!! It is Extremely Beautiful. Freddie was too precious on our beautiful planet. God called him to teach the Angels 😇 to Sing.🎶 God Bless You Both. "Together until the End," you both have your wish. To be part of the audience was Breath-taking. We were Blessed to be there! ANGELIC both of you.🙏🎤🎶🎵❣️💕🕊
This was wrote by the GREAT Freddie Murcury..he loved opera and dreamed of singing with her..R.I.P to two phenomenal artists 😢 ❤
They did a whole album together! This was written by Freddie for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
It was actually written 4 years before then in 1988 by Freddie for Montserrat as a tribute to her hometown. Freddie died in 1991. It was then subsequently used for the Barcelona games in 92.
@@paulmargett9360
released in 87 oct
the album was released 88
No it wasnt.
@@chethemerc7841
Which part?
You were correct.
We lost Montsy a few years ago. While Freddy's fans were listening to Freddy, this is what he was listening to. When I hear this, I cry, but t not because these two miraculous souls are no longer with us. I cry because it's THAT inspiring. And since it's preserved, it will continue to inspire forever. Her last name is pronounced cob-ah-yay. One more song of hers, huh?
She is Montserrat Caballe one of the best opera singers of all time
I love the way Amber leans so far forward, totally mesmerised. A great reaction to an epic performance.
Freddie adored her. They had a beautiful friendship. She was one of very few who knew the truth about his health. They have a few more songs. So good!
As soon as they started harmonizing together, I found myself just sitting here completely mezmerized.
This is possibly my favourite reaction video of yours, because your reaction at the end is so wonderful. 10 seconds of being gobsmacked and then "wow"
This performance was breathtaking. Freddie *loved* opera and wrote this for her. He treasured this performance. Your reaction was *so perfect* The looks on your faces are precisely how I feel every time I see this.
So so glad you guys reacted to this and loved it! I was a Queen fan in High School and our Spanish teacher played this for us. I was obsessed with it! She only had a bad copy on tape, and couldn’t find it for sale anywhere! This was 1988. No MP3’s, no internet, no cd burners! I had a friend who went on the school trip to Barcelona. I gave him $20 and told him he had to come home with it on CD for me. He came through and I wore that CD out! 😂❤️💿
Funny you should say this...I saw it live on the Closing Ceremony of the 1988 Olympics. I always recorded the Olympics, but back then it was on VCR. I saved my tapes and as I moved locations over the years my tapes somehow either got lost in the move, or ruined. I couldn't hear the song again until music venues started surfacing on the internet. I can't remember what it was called back in 2004(ish) but it wasn't UA-cam back then. Now I can hear it on UA-cam whenever I want. Thank God for UA-cam! That VCR copy Was a bad copy...but I played it over and over again...until I couldn't find it anymore. You were fortunate to get a CD!
This song is on the soundtrack for the Olympic Games. I looked it up. This song is the first track on the album called Barcelona Gold. Which is a compilation album that was released to coincide with the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
Your faces at the end. Priceless!
This is quite literally, the perfect union of Opera and Rock, perfectly executed by two powerhouse artists.. 💯❤️ also, beautifully, if you look into their relationship, they developed a true and strong friendship and love for each other.
Never underestimate the power of opera - there’s a reason it endures. And never underestimate the dramatic showmanship of Freddie Mercury. Great reaction vid, y’all.
Your faces! Always amazed whenever I hear this. He was so talented - what would we have seen if he’d survived?
Freddy Mercury! NUFF' SAID!! What a singer,songwriter,performer. Miss him so much. Queen. What a band. I remember when people wouldn't listen to them with me. I was right, they were in my opinion way wrong..
Oh their listening now!
Why wouldn't people listen to Queen with you? I'm really interested in their reasons. IMHO one of the top 10 rock groups of all time.
Two Greatest singer's of all time.
This brings me to tears every time I hear it. The loss of Freddie stings when I hear this masterpiece. Can you imagine what we could have been blessed to hear and witness if he could have lived longer. This man was a gift to human kind and I miss him. 🥺❤
I saw an interview with her many years later and she said the night she met Freddie that he played the piano for her and they stayed up all night talking and singing and they had such a great time she nearly forgot she had to catch a plane that morning.
They did another great duet called How Can I Go On?. You, guys, gonna love it, believe me! ✌️
Love that song!
Yes. That’s my favorite
my crying song
They had great love and respect for each other and it showed.
A perfect blend of opera and rock. R.I.P. Freddie.
One of my favorite opera songs is Montserrat Caballe singing O Mio Babbino Caro. If you like her voice you should definitely check that one out!
A song that was released around the same time that is pretty incredible and one of my all-time favorite Queen songs is Who Wants to Live Forever. Very theatrical and stunningly beautiful and haunting. And Brian May sings in the beginning of it. I highly recommend it.
It is one of the most beautiful haunting sad songs I have ever heard. Every time I hear it I immediately remember where it is played in the movie HIGHLANDER in regards to Connor McClouds BONNY HEATHER. I BLOSSOM.
@@tinamarcum6170 The first time I saw that I was with my then-fiancé and I sobbed my butt off. lol
I have wanted so badly for them to react to “Who Wants to Live Forever”. It gives me chills and is so strong knowing that Freddie was already along the path to his imminent death.
There are two versions of this song depending which video you watch. One where Brian sings at the start and one where Freddie sings the start. Surprisingly the Brian May intro is better.
One of the biggest tear-jerkers ever!
Especially good when watching 'Highlander', the movie it is from......'Aye Blossom'.
The man conducting with the 'light saber' is Brian May - the lead guitarist from Queen. x
Umm, no it’s not. It’s Mike Moran.
Freddie was in total awe of this lady and her voice 😍
They also became really good friends. Freddie was a huge Opera fan.
the Ecstasy on your faces, being taken with the music, Feeling It All.
Freddie Does It Again !! and Montserrat Caballe' is a Voice from Heaven, more than an angel. I'm so glad you both are So Blown Away by it. I LOVE this Album.
This is one of those songs that you don’t want to end 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
An entire album , it's incredible !
'Golden Boy' from them is also a winner
lots of change ups and different musical styles
if you liked this, you'll love that one
and Yes, Monsi was a major talent & Star in her natuve country of Spain. RIP
Freddie saw her perform and fell in love. They met, struck up a friendship and the rest is history.
The Golden Boy is my favorite Freddie song. Maybe my favorite song, period.
Yes please to The Golden Boy!!
Yeah, it is just “wow” ❤️
I have watched your reaction to this video like over and over and it’s amazing
One of the last gifts of Freddie to humanity, oh and what a gift it is!
I have goosebumps. OMGosh. I'd never seen this.... Amazing.
Their friendship was so heartwarming and glorious. Learn this story.
So glad you've finally got back to reacting to Queen/ Freddie Mercury. Please do more!! Freddie and Montserrat did a whole album together. It was a dream come true for Freddie as he idolised her. They became great friends. Much love from England 🏴
Oh my, I never knew about this song !!!! How is that possible ???? Great song !!
Freddie wrote BARCELONA
Just to give credit where due; Barcelona was co-written by Freddie & Mike Moran. Mike also did the arrangement, played keyboard on it, co-produced it (along with Freddie & David Richards) & appears in the vid (conducting, with the light stick).
Incredible!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! Freddie wrote not only THIS song, but an entire album that they recorded together - he was in awe of her.. and never thought she would agree to work with him... one of my favorites by them is "How Can I go On?" -- I hope you do more reactions to their collaborations.. also, "The Golden Boy"... look forward to more!
Absolutely gorgeous! Bravo! 👏 👏 ❤
This song gives me goosebumps every.single.time!
Their voices harmonize so beautifully!
This is also one of the very few songs that he got to sing in his normal octive range
I am so proud that I was one of the ones to recommend this. I believe I said it would blow Jay's mind. Mission accomplished. Now, with swelled head deflated, thank you so much. I was so excited to see that you were reacting to this.
You guys . Just your faces 60 seconds before it even finished.. paralysed with amazement.. love it. Your looks ..what the world saw too
Yes her voice was beautiful. And it indeed draws you to it. Bravo Rob Squad.
There is an interview with her where she talks about their unexpected friendship and how much it meant. Freddie was a huge fan of hers and being able to help create this as a gift to the people of Barcelona for the Olympics was something he cherished.
Freddie is so good that he can make me like opera music
I'm only 19 but I'm so in love with Freddie.
Freddie wrote this opera to sing with her. He’s was so amazing and there was nothing he couldn’t do
This is a song that is pure magic regardless of which version you listen to.
Jay & Amber, its almost 11 months since you reacted to Marc Anthony (spelled Mark in your title).
Amber will melt hearing him sing “You Sang To Me”!!!!
Amber's mesmerized reaction to the close of the song is beautiful. Great stuff guys.
The expressions on your faces is just priceless
If you want to do a good Queen song, I suggest "One Vision". That is a great jam. You will both enjoy it.
Oh! One of my favorites! Thanks guys
This is my favourite reaction video so far. Your faces are an absolute picture.😆 Love you guys!
On,y Freddie can pull off Rock with Opera, that’s why he was so special to all of us. His power and foresight was and still remains legendary. Rest In Eternal Peace Freddie, Your Still in our hearts and forever “We Still Lobe You”
Yay, I’ve been waiting for this! Another great one from these two titans is The Golden Boy, you’ll love it
Freddie was so amazing. Wish he was still here. This was so good.
Freddie the best singer ever
6:56 that note right there is just mindblowing🤯
Freddie could sing anything. He could sing the phone book and it would be amazing 😍😍😍. R.I.P. Freddie and Montserrat much love and respect to the both of you. You are missed.
Freddie Mercury’s Exercises in Free Love is his foray into opera! A great one to hear.
Freddie Mercury was a big Opera-fan, also long time before he join the band Queen.
Freddie adored Monseratte and wanted her to sing a song with him she was so captivated with him she insisted they do an entire album...so he wrote her an album! There's a great video that tells about how nervous he was meeting her at the Ritz hotel in Barcelona. Monseratte Caballé and Aretha Franklin, both women he truly admired, sang at his funeral in 1991. I'd love to see your reaction to their song How can I go on... it's my favorite Freddie and Montsy song
You must try Andrea Bocelli with Sarah Brightman singing ‘Time to Say Goodbye’ (Con te partition) it’s so beautiful
Absolutely this. A wondrous song and live performance
This was incredible for sure. Their stage presence was fairly similar to another Freddie number I think you’d be equally blown away by, “Who Wants To Live Forever”.
he performed that fantastically but written by Brian
They HAVE TO react to the full version though, the radio edit of WWTLF cuts off a very moving bit of music at the end and I really can't believe they cut it in a lot of versions.
GOOSEBUMPS. My greatest ever song.
The beautiful expressions on your faces are as wonderful to watch as the stunning performance!
